The vigorous figure bypassed the countless guards at the door of Cravenna's house, completely hiding itself in the night.
She climbed up to the second floor skillfully and opened the bedroom window.
In her bedroom, Liya was quietly reading a book on the bed.
The figure climbed through the window, closed the window, and came to Liya.
The pointed ears exposed on both sides of the visitor indicate her identity.
Liya asked calmly without raising her head.
"Did anyone bring it here?"
Leon nodded.
"There were too many guards outside, so I put Chuul in the basement of the prop shop."
She tilted her head and looked at Liya, feeling a little strange.
Why did Miss Liya start reading?
"I kind of understand why Victor loves reading so much."
Liya slowly closed the book in her hand, placed it on the cabinet at hand, and explained lightly:
"Books can help me calm down and relax temporarily, which is very helpful for thinking about things."
Leon stared at Liya with admiration and praised in his heart:
As expected of Miss Liya, she can remain calm at such times.
As if mentioning it casually, Liya asked the elf in front of her.
"Leon, if the eldest prince really comes to me to propose marriage, what do you think is the benefit to us?"
"Don't worry."
Leon was stunned for a moment, holding his chin and thinking.
She naturally knew that Jeslaser wanted the eldest prince to propose marriage to Miss Liya.
Soon, Leon gave her answer.
She told Liya readily: "I don't like it."
Liya was stunned for a moment when she heard Leon's answer.
"What's the meaning?"
Leon answered Liya's doubts very straightforwardly:
"I don't know what benefits a marriage can bring, but I just don't want Miss Liya to marry into the royal family."
Listening to Leon's answer, Liya smiled softly.
"The royal family is so noble, but there are many girls who are eager to marry the prince."
Of course, she is definitely not among them.
If Leah wanted to get married so badly, she would have left the Cravenna family long ago.
Liya smiled helplessly.
"Jace Lesser just laid the trap right in my face."
This is a clear plan.
Jess Lesser wanted her to marry the eldest prince and bind the Cravenna family to the eldest prince's chariot.
Everyone knew that this matter would not be allowed by the second prince.
Moreover, Victor has become the princess's teacher. Under the manipulation of Emperor Aubrey, Cravenna should not support either of the two princes.
Through this incident, Jess Reiser made Victor attract the resentment of the second prince, and by the way made the emperor feel disappointed with Victor.
Obviously Liya understood these things, but what made her feel a little suffocated.
On the surface, Liya could not disobey the eldest prince's proposal of marriage.
She was just a member of the family who didn't even have a title and was forced to depend on the Cravenas.
It was her blessing that the eldest prince fell in love with her, so if the eldest prince really came to propose marriage and Victor didn't respond, Liya would have no choice but to agree.
At first, Liya believed that Victor would refuse if he was smart.
But she found out later.
If this is the case, it means that Victor proactively announced that he would never support the eldest prince.
Then the direction of who to support will quickly shift to the second prince.
The Cravenas were forced to confront the eldest prince. Because Victor was the princess's personal tutor, it was impossible for him to support the second prince.
Obviously they did not support any party, but they, Cravenna, directly became the target of public criticism.
If it weren't for the Duke's visit today, she wouldn't have even discovered this.
Therefore, whether he agrees or not, it will eventually lead to a result, that is, Victor will inevitably have conflicts and antagonisms with these two princes.
So which side would the former Victor choose?
Liya drew circles on the book, and finally settled on the 'eldest prince'.
Benefit.
If he had to oppose one party, then he would definitely oppose the second prince.
Because now it seems that the eldest prince is the most advantageous, because he is the one who takes the initiative to propose marriage.
"But that was before."
Leah tore the pages into pieces, and the red gem in the mage's hand shone with magic, burning the paper in her hand into ashes.
She won't trust anyone with her life.
…
In the early morning, the imperfect light finally broke through the dark night and shone on the royal capital.
At this time, all the people in the royal capital were preparing to open shops and work.
In the palace, everyone was also waiting, waiting for the court meeting to begin.
Emperor Aubrey slowly sat on the throne and looked at the ministers below.
Jess Reiser led a group of ministers and stood on one side.
On the other side, stood the second prince.
He also led a group of ministers who supported him.
Standing next to the emperor was Duke Levi.
Emperor Aubrey nodded to the courtiers below, indicating that the court meeting could begin.
After receiving permission, Jess Reiser took the lead and said:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the First Prince has made great achievements in his return this time."
"His Royal Highness killed a demonic dragon that had troubled the empire for a long time at the border and made a great contribution. He wants to bring the dragon head back to promote peace."
The second prince just stood aside and watched Jace Reiser's compliments quietly, smiling and saying nothing.
Emperor Oberly did not speak, and only heard Jess Reiser continue:
"The eldest prince has not yet been married, but now that His Highness has entered his thirties, it is time to consider starting a family."
"As for a spouse, I have a recommendation."
"That is, Count Victor's sister..."
Before he finished speaking, Gwen walked in resolutely from outside the court, wearing armor and a long sword at her waist.
"Lord Gwen! We haven't reported it to His Majesty yet!"
Following closely behind Gwen were two eunuchs, rolling and crawling behind Gwen, warning anxiously.
But now Gwen has arrived in front of the emperor.
She led a gray-faced man in her hand and threw it towards the center of the palace.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the man who was thrown onto the palace.
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Who is this person?"
"This man's name is Qiur. He is a soldier of the Kingdom of Kanter. He changed his identity and sneaked into the empire. He became a grain merchant and infiltrated the Cravenna family."
"His goal is to assassinate Victor and his sister Liya."
"But he failed and was captured by Victor's sister instead."
When the ministers in the court heard this, they all took a deep breath.
The former Victor was a viscount, and he was also a powerful viscount with territory.
However, such a noble actually had soldiers from the Kingdom of Cantor mixed in with him?
The seriousness of this matter makes people wonder whether there is anyone in the empire who communicates with the Kingdom of Kanter.
Moreover, the assassination point happened to be when Victor became an earl and his strength ranked among the ranks of fourth-level mages.
Many people couldn't help but turn their attention to Jess Reiser.
Why?
Before this, no matter how unhappy the nobles who were always present were with Victor, they would never ask someone to assassinate Victor.
Because Victor is a member of the Empire, the grievances of the Imperial people should be resolved by the Imperial people themselves.
What does it mean when a person from the Kingdom sneaks in?
So who has a grudge against Victor recently, and who has this motive?
These nobles who looked at Jess Reiser did not say a word.
But they have made it clear their current attitude towards Reese.
Jess Reiser felt many malicious glances directed at him, like dozens of sharp needles stabbing him.
The emperor raised his eyes, looked at Gwen, and said the first sentence:
"Where is the child now?"
"Your Majesty, Liya is waiting outside the palace."
Emperor Aubrey nodded and said:
"Let her in."
At the emperor's call, several guards brought Liya into the palace.
She stood in front of the emperor and bowed slightly to the emperor on the throne in the eyes of everyone.
"I have met His Majesty."
Emperor Aubrey waved his hand,
"No need to be polite."
After saying that, he stared at Liya and smiled lightly.
"Okay, it's okay."
"Otherwise, I, an old man, can't stand Victor coming to make trouble with me."
Everyone present heard the emperor's closeness, and his appreciation for Victor even affected his sister.
Love the house and the bird.
Liya stood up slowly and glanced at Jace Lesser.
There seemed to be a strong sense of ridicule in his eyes.
But the ridicule was fleeting. In this sudden situation, no one noticed Liya's expression.
Following the signal from the emperor's eyes, a magician slowly stepped forward and guided the fainted Chur with the crystal ball in his hand.
The mark slowly appeared on the crystal ball, then turned red and dissipated.
The magician turned around and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, he is indeed not from the Empire, and he has obviously strong Qi and blood."
Strong Qi and blood means that the opponent is a warrior and not weak in strength.
This basically proves the authenticity of Liya's words.
Let’s not talk about whether this warrior intends to assassinate Victor’s family. Just the fact that such a powerful warrior from outside the empire has infiltrated into the empire is worthy of investigation.
Duke Levi was appropriately beside the emperor at this time and continued:
"Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated thoroughly."
The emperor nodded, said "yes", and smiled at Liya.
"Child, come to me."
Liya bowed to the emperor again and walked slowly to the emperor's side.
Looking at Liya coming forward, the emperor smiled and said:
"Your brother is Aurelion's teacher. You don't have to be reserved around me."
"I will investigate this matter further. You will have done a great job in capturing such a kingdom warrior."
Everyone present noticed the emperor's words.
He emphatically reminded the relationship between the princess and Victor, which was a warning to everyone present.
Don't expose your little tricks to me.
Craven will not take sides.
No one noticed that Jace Lesser clenched his fists slightly.
Why?
Why can the emperor be so kind to these two people?
We are the royal relatives, and Devin and I are your nephews!
The seed of jealousy was inadvertently buried in his heart, and slowly took root and sprouted in Jess Reiser's heart.
Suddenly, the emperor looked at Jess Reiser and asked:
"Speaking of which, you just had something to say."
"Keep talking."
Jaceless was stunned. At this moment, he became the one being roasted on the fire.
Victor's sister had just been assassinated, so he went to mention the marriage between the eldest prince and her...
Isn’t that looking for scolding?
"Your Majesty, I..."
Jess Reiser opened his mouth, and the words were like a huge stone blocking his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
The old emperor sighed and said lightly:
"Come out, Victor."
"If you have anything to say, tell him yourself."
Victor?
Everyone present was completely puzzled.
Where is Victor anywhere here?
Along with their doubts, a greenery suddenly appeared in the palace, full of vitality.
Wildflowers and grasses gradually covered the entire floor, and winding vines gradually climbed to the top of the palace. The surrounding golden pillars were covered with vines.
A cluster of flowers that appeared behind everyone gradually began to move, and as the flowers gradually receded.
Victor gradually revealed his figure.
He just appeared in front of everyone out of thin air, shaking the windbreaker behind him.
Victor at this moment was completely different from the last time.
If the Victor last time was filled with terror and majesty, then the Victor at this moment is filled with coldness and elegance.
But there is still a mysterious sense of distance.
His figure disappeared instantly and appeared ghostly behind Jace.
Victor leaned against Jace's ear, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly:
"There are some things I didn't explain in advance, which may have made you think there was an opportunity."
"But now, I want you to always remember."
As Victor spoke, several vines suddenly wrapped around Jace's neck, getting tighter and tighter.
Jace suddenly struggled, tearing desperately at the thick rattan around his neck.
His face gradually turned red, and the movements of his hands became more panicked.
But all I could hear was Victor's cold voice sounding indifferently;
"Stay away from the people around me."
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Victor suddenly appeared and his warning words.
Even Gwen and Liya looked confused and puzzled.
Why did Victor suddenly appear?
As if they realized something, several nobles standing behind Jess Lesser shouted quickly.
"Victor! Are you crazy!"
"Are you going to kill someone in the palace?"
Victor glanced at the man indifferently. The man was like a drowned chicken, his throat was strangled, and he never dared to say another word.
But he did not commit any murder, and the vines gradually receded from Jace Leather's body.
He touched his neck and gasped for air.
Not being able to breathe for a long time caused his eyes to be bloodshot and scarlet, making him look particularly scary.
"Victor!"
Jace's voice was slightly hoarse, but he wasn't afraid.
At this moment, the jealousy in his heart turned into extreme rage, and he wanted to tear the man in front of him into pieces with his own hands.
But he couldn't do it. He could only suppress his anger and look at Victor pretending to be calm.
"What grudge do I have against you?"
Victor seemed to have vented all his anger and tugged on his collar gracefully.
"Mr. Jess, before talking about your grudges with me, I hope you will first face up to the identity gap between you and me."
Jace felt puzzled and confused, and correspondingly, this doubt spread to everyone in the palace except the emperor.
As if by accident, a round silver logo appeared on Victor's collar.
The three broken heads above seemed to reveal some mysterious identity.
In Jace's angry eyes, Victor said calmly, as if he was mocking or scorning him.
"Please call me, Senator Cravenna."
